Herlene Budol
INULAN ng batikos ang Kapuso actress at Binibining Pilipinas 2022 candidate na si Herlene Nicole Budol nang lumabas ang litrato niya with a “Afro” hairstyle.
Hindi nagustuhan ng netizens ang picture na ipinost ng komedyana at aspiring beauty queen sa Instagram at Facebook kung saan nakasuot siya ng black outfit at fro hairstyle.
Ipinamukha ng ilang social media followers sa Kapuso comedienne ang usapin tungkol sa “cultural appropriation” kung saan kino-consider ang “Afros” na mahalagang bahagi ng kultura ng African-American community.
Isa ito sa naging identity nila noong dekada ‘60, “when they suffered from oppression. It has since become a movement.”
Ang caption ni Herlene sa kanyang “Afro” pictorial, “I love my Fro’ – it’s not just a hairstyle; it’s a statement.”
Isang netizen na nagngangalang Milbrae Khen ang nagkomento sa post Herlene, “It’s not just a hairstyle; it’s a statement.’ Yeah, if you’re black or a native-born with natural afros, which apparently either of that isn’t the case.
“Miss ma’am needs to reevaluate her choices and deserves better handling from the management,” aniya pa.
Narito pa ang ilang mensahe ng netizens sa komedyana.
“An Afro is not a fashion statement. This is straight up cultural appropriation. This isn’t yours, so don’t wear it for publicity. As a beauty queen you should know better!!”
“WISH KO TALAGA SA BULA-LAKAW NA IKAW NA TALAGA ANG MANALO. TAPOS NEXTIME YUNG PANG MISS UNIVERSE NAMAN.”
“OA mo! So ibig sabihin pag black, tapos nagpastraight hair which is natural ibang race esp Asians, bawal na din? Saka what’s wrong with her caption? Afro naman talaga tawag dyan sa ganyang buhok.”
“As much as I love this look please take this down and learn what Cultural Appropriation means. Black people are constantly being culturally appropriated so don’t add onto it na po please. Good luck Madam!” another netizen named Kulove Ampatuan Panalunsong commented.
“Wala namang cultural significance yung straight hair eh. Unlike sa hair ng black people na nakakaranas ng oppression on daily basis.”
